I am interested in serving the community of Atlantic Beach, which has embraced me and has provided me the
opportunity to for the first time in my nomadic life to call a city 'home'. There is an innate responsibility in all who live
in a community to serve that community and make it better for the next generation. My son is 11 years old and
recently said to me that he plans to live in Atlantic Beach for the rest for the rest of his life. If that's the case, I want to
be sure the place he lives is as wonderful as the place I live in now.
